My summary so far is

Jordan has the to edge it for me very quick.

Bellerby Just to good a car and driver, only Bird seems to have a chance of catching him at the moment.

Godfrey cant loose, No competition.

Tracey Maybe for me.

Jordan, Bellerby, Godfrey & Thom all have pole for finals with one set of heats to go.

shh want to shead some light ?

schanche · 9 Apr 2007, 17:43 (Ref:1887359)

Just got back great event large crowd good weather superb racing!
Jordan was class all day great starts and great passing on the entry to chessons got JMC every time that was untill the superfinal

not sure what happend there but Jordan should of won outright Future GB1 definatly.
Jmc money well spent vast improvement although Star of the event Mark watson gave him a run for his money!glad he was a late entry proved to be a new man this season "khumos suit him i think"

Hills EVO is gorgeous looking motor can only get better,If it starts to go as well as it looks it will be a race winner.
Get this Bellerby winning the Superfinal Mr Godfrey beating home Doran in the superfinal and the Juniours getting there Butts kicked by Miss thom It can only get better.
Wonder if GB1 is reconsidering

bigdick1977 · 9 Apr 2007, 17:45 (Ref:1887360)

Superfinal was very strange. Jordan had a lunge up the inside into Chessons and promptly got spun, only to be collected by Hill. Red flag and both out. Re-run included Doran ( not in original) McClusky spun in turn 1. Mad Mark led until engine went sick Bellerby passed George Tracey and Mad Mark to win. GT 2nd and MM 3rd in the end.

silver bullet · 9 Apr 2007, 18:02 (Ref:1887374)

Thanks everbody for the updates. Sounds like one hell of a meeting.

I thought if you did not start the original race you could not start the re-run.

I think what happened was Pat was in the holding area, didnt go out in the superfinal, i think the car had a misfire or someother electrical problem.
when he did go out for the restart His car sounded well sick. done well to finnish 6th i think.

Barrie · 9 Apr 2007, 18:25 (Ref:1887392)

Fantastic driving all day from Bellerby, what a result.

Barrie · 9 Apr 2007, 18:31 (Ref:1887398)

Dermot went well, Mad Mark was brilliant all day.

M.Lowe · 9 Apr 2007, 18:48 (Ref:1887411)

Nie Fiesta but I would of liked it to be in the same colours as the Focus.
Wonder why Dermot has gone Left Hand Drive?
Good pics Barrie

Barrie · 9 Apr 2007, 18:58 (Ref:1887417)

Had to feel for Van Mechelen and his team today, car looked and sounded great though.

Matti Alamaki · 9 Apr 2007, 19:28 (Ref:1887432)

Can Safely say nobody predicted Bellerby taking victory in the Superfinal! How competitive was Don Shannon?

Barrie · 9 Apr 2007, 19:39 (Ref:1887438)

Volvo's made every smile as ever, both right on the pace.

Don's day started with 2 non finished heats, Very quick in a strait line, looked like a handful round corners, but he got it together in the final heat with a win.

What a great day it was. I too felt sorry for Van Mechelen - two starts and two broken gearboxes (or something inside it). After the 2nd one he had packed up and gone home and I don't blame him! I'd be shattered. Fortunately the other Belgian Maris put on a great show

Andrew Jordan was just perfect all day, didn't put a single wheel wrong (that I saw) all day! Obviously had a good car beneath him too. I was surprised by GT's lack of pace down the straight but he must still be refining the car and holding back a little? I left after the Supercar A final as I was really tired. What happened to JMC? He was looking 2nd fastest all day.

Samantha Thom drove well too, only had one ragged heat - I think that was the third one - but pulled it together in the finals!

Pretty glad I took my own food and drink too - every stall had 20-30+ queues all day, even at 5pm!

Hog · 9 Apr 2007, 19:58 (Ref:1887455)

Biggest crowd I remember seeing at Lydden for many a year.

Excellent racing all day, drivers behaved and didn't give us too much to do (apart from 1 or 2 incidents).

Drive of the day - Miss Thom - she knows how to fight for track position. Very impressive.

Car of the day - the Volvo 240 - for sheer arse out ballsy driving against much more sophisticated machinery. Yes it looked like a barge but by Christ did it shift, and put some bigger budget cars in the shade. Front engine + rear wheel drive = entertainment.

Thanks to Queen, UDB, Gnomex, Boy Blunder, Kev the Viking et al for another cracking day - even if my feet are oh so sore now........

shhh · 9 Apr 2007, 21:21 (Ref:1887524)

Gearbox went in Superfinal, finished 7th. This motorsport's a mugs game

bigdick1977 · 9 Apr 2007, 19:59 (Ref:1887456)

Re-run included Doran ( not in original)

Julian Godfrey also appeared in the re-run. Not really sure whats going on with this, but Andrew Jordan went frm being on pole to not even appearing in the top ten!
Olle O seemed very peed off in the A final, he was pleading with the marshalls to stop the race as his car was sat on the apex at Chessons. This after another race was red flagged even though G.T had got going after his spin

Just to clear up a few matters with the Msa Superfinal as i understand it.
The fastest 16 cars of the day are invited down to the holding area(dummy grid) the quickest 10 cars start the race proper, if there is a red flag during the race any car that cant make the restart are substituted from the rest of the 16
